Akali Dal seems to have made choice in consonance with the Congress which too had announced the candidature of its five-time councillor Surinder Kaur. Surjit Kaur is the wife of deceased Akali leader and one-time councillor Pritam Singh.

Sharing details of the same, senior leader Jagir Kaur said a decision to this effect was taken by a four-member committee constituted by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal to decide on the SAD candidate. The other members of the committee were Gurpartap Singh Wadala, Dr Sukhwinder Sukhi and Mohinder Singh Kaypee.
